The Cheerful Project in Pembrokeshire

Give the Gift of Creativity and Company this Christmas It won’t cost you a penny! The Cheerful Project are looking for over 50’s to take part in our exciting project, Oed y Byd.

‘We can offer opportunities for older people, who find it difficult to get out and about, to do something creative in their own homes. Initially we’d like to arrange a meeting with the participant to chat about the kinds of activities they might like to explore and we can then tailor any future sessions to their needs and any physical limitations they might have.

‘Would you or someone you know benefit from this project?
Would you like to accompany a friend or family member during these creative sessions? We hope they would have a friend, family member or carer with them who could also participate or just be present, to engender the relaxed and informal atmosphere we’re looking for.

‘This project has so much to offer, by referring someone to this project you could make a real difference to someone this Christmas.

‘As well as the individual sessions there will also be a celebration event at the end of the project similar in feel to the Narberth Tea Dance we held in November. Everyone involved will get the opportunity to get together and celebrate all of their achievements.
